Proud to Sponsor Missouri’s Kids

We are proud of our Missouri scholars and athletes who work hard to make it to the championships.

Your electric cooperative is pleased to be a sponsor of the Missouri State High School Activities Association because we share similar goals for our kids. The MSHSAA aims to develop citizens who will positively contribute to their community, and we couldn’t agree more.

We know you only want what is best for your kids, and we want what is best for you, our member.

Your electric cooperative is your source of power and information. Information about how to save energy and money, learn about new technology and how to stay safe.
